The said Police Regional Office had established 92 help desks to ensure that minimum public health standards and peace and order are maintained in all areas of convergence in the entire region during the summer vacation.

Under the guidelines, all police units are urged to coordinate with the community-based volunteers and force multipliers to be deployed whenever there is a significant activity.

According to the Office of the Regional Operations Division, lower units were also tasked to work closely with the Department of Tourism or their counterparts in the localities to produce and distribute information and education materials on safety tips for tourists during summer vacation.

Meanwhile, MIMAROPA’s top cop also reminded the public to refrain from posting their vacation itineraries on social media so that the criminals will never have the opportunity to commit crimes during their travel or vacation where their homes are left unattended.

“In consonance to the directive of the PNP Chief, PGEN DIONARDO BERNARDO CARLOS, I have already directed all field commanders and unit leaders in the region to strictly adhere to the guidelines to stop the possible resurgence of COVID-19 cases while preventing crimes in the region during SUMVAC 2022,” PBGen Hernia stressed. – RPIO MIMAROPA.
